Apparently these Garbage Disposal Units are mostly just used in the U.S., but hopefully everyone else are at least familiar with the concept? Personally I’ve never used one, which is probably for the best.

Also, on another note – I almost pulled this comic as I noticed that the always excellent Buni ran a strip with a very similar premise just this past Monday. Actually I first planned to post this one on the same day but pushed it to today. But yeah, it was purely coincidental. Hopefully they’re different enough! (Just slightly annoying. Oh, and I still have a voice memo on my phone from November 9th (8:19pm) when I first thought of the idea.)

Garbage disposals seem to be pretty common in TV-series and movies from USA. Too much potential for drama and comedy to not have them! So I assume that most foreigners with TV would know about them even if they’re uncommon in their own country.
